What The Fuck Were They Thinking?: Swarm

TGIT!!!!

So who watched the series finale of Sons of Anarchy?
If you haven;t seen it yet, please do. It was a very solid and satisfying ending that wrapped up pretty much everything that got started this season and in previous seasons.

It gave us some food for thought, and a long-time mystery was solved.
Sad, but very worth seeing.

Arrow was also solid.
We found out Thea was the one who shot and killed Sarah(That's who I thought did it)
and of course the duel between Ra's Al Guhl and Ollie.

And shirtless no less, as a homage to the first duel between Batman and Ra's no doubt.


A fine mid-season finale really. Can't wait to see the rest of the season, 'cause seriously, who really thinks Ollie's dead right?


So, this guy:










Yep, Swarm.
The Nazi bad guy made up of sentient killer bees.


Yes, bees.

I know King would probably get on me for making fun of this guy, since I'm like what, 0-4 in picking weird characters he likes that I make fun of.


So, I'll do him a solid, and just point out the absurdity of a guy who missed his calling as the star villain of a bad Sci-Fi B-movie from the 50's.

Swarm was originally a Nazi scientist named Fritz Von Meyer, who was into bees. VERY into bees. I don't think he tried to fuck 'em, but I'm not saying he didn't maybe try either......

Moving right along, Ol' Fritz was introduced in Champions#14 by Bill Mantlo and John Byrne.
Huh.

Top-notch talent, and yet they made this guy. Well, I guess it goes to show sometimes you have corn in your poop when you're just aiming to you know, poop out a regular turd.

He's shown up a few times here or there over the years, and even boasts the honorable distinction of having his very own action figure.


Go Swarm.

But seriously though, Bill Mantlo, John Byrne.

WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING!?




"Closing time. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here."

Well..... I kinda always knew this day would come, and it sure has. It's been a hell of a ride, but it's time to for it end. Ti...
